A little more progress

Post by m-11 »

I've been working on the truck off/on and finally got around to painting the frame. I tossed around the color option of green or black for a few months before deciding on black. I used John Deere Blitz black because I know a few guys that build cars and they say its a real good durable paint for a frame.

Very nice, did you paint all of the brackets for the frame at the same time?

Ok, as long as you do have some sort of normalness in there. :mrgreen:

It's always so nice when you get to start putting it back together. Taking stuff apart is fun, but the bagging and cleaning, not so much.

Your frame looks great! :D

You should have left some clutter around the frame. That pic could have been photoshopped. Nice job on the paint though!
